This is spot on

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has been with us for many years. No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as:
-Knowing when to come in out of the rain;
- Why the early bird gets the worm;
- Life isn't always fair;
- And maybe it was my fault.
Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge).
His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.
Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children.
It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer sun lotion or an aspirin to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.
Common Sense lost the will to live as the churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims.
Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.
Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement.
Common Sense was preceded in death,
-by his parents, Truth and Trust,
-by his wife, Discretion,
-by his daughter, Responsibility,
-and by his son, Reason.
He is survived by his 5 stepbrothers;
- I Know My Rights
- I Want It Now
- Someone Else Is To Blame
- I'm A Victim
- Pay me for Doing Nothing-face

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone.
If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing
 
Welcome to the 80's.




The coffee in the crotch lady is a commonly used yet wrong example though. McDonald's coffee was being served at just under 200* so it was too hot for someone to sit and drink free refills. The coffee actually melted the cup and she received 2nd degree burns to her lady bits. Common sense what?
 
I thank you for sharing, and I applaud you for recognizing that this needs to be passed on"thumbsup" I am hesitant to have a child because of the society that I would have to raise them in...

if you see the pictures of her burns you will understand that lawsuit... i was once one of those people who used that instance as an example of people being sue-happy or wimps, but that old lady got messed up... :(

I always put burning hot things between my legs....Especially while driving.
 

That link backs up what I said. The coffee was crazy hot and burned her lady bits.

Exactly, I was on the same side as you were originally till I actually looked into it more.

And you apparently add in your commentary without knowing anything about the subject at hand too. She wasn't driving. The car was parked so she could add cream and sugar.

Article said:
Liebeck placed the coffee cup between her knees and pulled the far side of the lid toward her to remove it. In the process, she spilled the entire cup of coffee on her lap.

once again... nope...

I think its spot on. Regardless if the cup melted or not you never put something thats extremely hot between your legs that can easily squish causing the hot liquid to hit your skin--thats just common sense.

Common sense says coffee shouldn't be so fawking hot as to cause 2nd and 3rd degree burns. :lol: I don't drink hot liquids anyway so I guess I'll never have to deal with that issue.

Noo--common sense tells you to let it cool down. Some times you have no control over what you are handed--common sense tells you how to react to it.

My common sense tells me I'm thirsty now not in 30 minutes when my drink is done boiling. I'll stick to iced tea thanks. :D
 
i did the SAME thing once with a big cup of hot chocolate i got from 7-11. getting into my car and i errored and ended up dumping it all into my crotch.

it burned like hell and was not pleasant, but it didnt actually BURN me like that old lady got burned. what happened to her looked like somebody dumped a pan of boiling water on her lap.

i agree with the op on how people nowadays suck btw.
 
I get them to pour the coffee into my stainless travel mug. So I actually like that it's boiling hot. Otherwise the cold steel cup would just make the coffee lukewarm.

As far as the old lady, it just comes down to her not taking personal responsibility. And unfortunately, these days, less and less people seem to be willing to do that...
 
ffs… google 'pictures of lady who got burned by mcdonalds coffee' and tell me that if that happened to your mom, or your kid, that you wouldnt be upset.

sure, personal responsibilty is one thing that we lack nowadays. i got that. but it should have been mcdonalds personal responsibilty to not serve something so hot it takes layers of skin off.

im not sue happy, i assume responsibilty for most every stupid thing that happens to me. but somebody shoulda had the common sense to realize they shouldnt have been serving 200 degree coffee. that shit was way too hot.
 
Common sense tells me that guns don't kill people, people kill people
Common sense tells me to not spend about 1/3 more than I make every day
Common sense tells me that when a black guy robs me and I shoot him I am not racist for shooting him because he is black.


AND the best one


Common sense tells me to use a BEC on every crawler.

Your ignorance on the McDonalds coffee case is amazing. If I was a prick I would hope your kids get boiling hot coffee spilled on them and then tell you it was your fault for not pulling out.
